Writers' Opportunities, Courses & Events

Spread the Word

Following the success of our Cardiff-based playwriting workshops, the programme is now going national!

At venues across Wales, experienced stage writing tutors will host weekly workshops in both English and Welsh for emerging writers of all ages.

Participants will learn about the key elements of playwriting, and with practical guidance from the tutors, as well as the Sherman Cymru team, will develop and complete a new play.

The best of the bunch will be selected for a rehearsed reading event at each venue, when the chosen writers will have the opportunity to work with a professional cast and director.
